Important Note!

#Roku is forcing us to update our minimum device firmware targets by October 1, 2026. Currently we support old Roku OS versions going back into Roku OS 12, but they are forcing us to change the minimum to Roku OS 15.1.

Releases will be blocked if we do not make this change.

Y'all on older devices that are no longer updated or y'all who block automatic Roku updates have 3 options that I can see.

1. Buy a new device
2. Stop receiving #Jellyfin for Roku updates after October 1, 2026
3. Sideload the Jellyfin app, knowing some things may stop working as we make required changes to support OS 15.1

We'll communicate with y'all as we start work on supporting this, but know IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF US! We're being forced to do this, so if you're affected, contact Roku.

Don't yell at us.

Please boost to share this notification.

@tgpo speaking to someone with a Roku ultra (4800x). Currently looking at software version 15.1.4, thank you. Thank you for supporting my Roku, it's appreciated.

You guys providing a jellyfin app to Roku literally makes Roku worth having for me.
